Repurposed Headboard

This is a headboard I had left over from a bedroom set I refinished. I sold all the pieces separately, but didn't find a home for this guy. I didn't know how well it would sell by itself so I decided to repurpose it. And, two is better than one, so I decided to cut it in half!

Before

After

I am loving chalkboards right now, and, with the insets, this was a perfect candidate!

I added these awesome hooks (perfect for keys!) I found at HL and the little embellishments on the side of the hooks.

It's got fun little details that give a lot of character. :)

Love the larger hooks on the turquoise one, too. Great for hanging hats or scarves by the back door or to hang jewelry from in the bedroom.

GREAT idea :) I have a forlorn orphan footboard I'm considering making into a chalkboard with hooks at the bottom. It's solid oak and VERY heavy though, not sure if someone would actually be able to hang it on a wall....

About Me

I love working with my hands--gardening, painting, scrapbooking, wood working....creating. A very wise man said creating is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul--LOVE that!! There is just something about transforming old into new, and I'm happiest when I am doing just that. I love when someone in my family says, "What are you doing now?!"
